Synopsis

What if the best way to manage your Macs was to use a Mobile Device Manager? What does your environment currently lack a way to control? Marcus, Pepijn and Charles talk with Dropbox’s Mike Lynn about his m(DM)acOS blog post, and everything you might be able to do with a future version of macOS via an MDM.

Your Hosts:

Charles Edge, Director of Professional Services at JAMF Software, That Guy at Krypted.com [@cedge318]

Guests:

Richard Purves, Senior Mac Consultant at REDACTED

Synopsis:

Tom, Charles and Pepijn talk with Richard Purves on the role of multi-factor authentication (MFA) in Mac systems administration, including a short history of MFA, how to work with MFA in macOS Sierra and Mac OS X. We cover a bunch of the infrastructure necessary to work with MFA, as well as tactics and strategies for their inclusion in your IT operations.

Note that on OS X, this information is good background but doesn’t seem to work on macOS. Doing anything with the kerberos realm appears to be ignored and Apple instead looks for a file at /etc/cacconfiglogin.plist instead.
